Seasonal shopping for a coat isn’t easy, but sales are the moment to grab a versatile piece that will stay in rotation for years.
Material matters when selecting a jacket. The most common choices include wool, leather, and down, each with its own strengths. Wool delivers lasting warmth and durability; leather provides outstanding wind resistance and a timeless look. Down is incredibly lightweight and warm, though it can be less water resistant. To ensure a coat lasts through many seasons, pay close attention to the quality of the fabric.
Think about how you live daily and pick a coat that fits your wardrobe and activities. For an office environment, a classic cut jacket is often ideal. If outdoor activities are a regular thing, seek rugged, functional designs with features like a hood, multiple pockets, and water resistance.
Finally, a good coat should leave room for layering without becoming too loose. Try different sizes and styles to discover the perfect fit. Comfort matters, especially in mobility areas like the shoulders and arms.

Pilar de Arce’s burgundy coat
She is widely regarded as an influential figure in the country’s fashion scene, with a reputation for elegance among women over fifty. The outfits she showcases reflect a refined sense of style that resonates with many followers.
In the latest release, the burgundy jacket takes center stage. The look pairs it with a brown knitted dress, matching brown high boots, and a burgundy maxi bag. The jacket, from the Momoni brand, is a white garment crafted from a handmade double-faced wool blend. It features a slightly raised collar, a sash-style belt, and side pockets set into the seams. Currently on sale, it offers a 40 percent discount at a price of 358 euros.
For those over fifty who love this coat but cannot splurge, more affordable options have been found.
The first option is from Shein—a long burgundy coat with an original hood and a sash-style belt, priced at a very approachable 30 euros.
Another economical choice is from Amazon. A Malito coat that doubles as a dressing gown, priced at 39.95 euros.
Inside Asos, a model closely resembling the one worn by Pilar de Arce is available. Helene Berman offers a burgundy jacket with a Becca knot belt, currently sold out but previously around 162.99 euros. Caution is advised if this item returns.
The final option is a trench coat instead of a jacket, offering a distinct style for those over fifty. A burgundy H&M trench coat features a collar and top made from fabric with hook-and-eye fasteners. It presents a loose yoke with cuff loops and back box pleats, plus side pockets, a removable belt, and a back slit. It’s on sale at 41.99 euros.
